A couple days ago I posted my favorite Snowing teamwork moment and mentioned how being separated by realms didn’t stop them …
That brings me to my favorite CS Teamwork moment … Episode 5×21 ‘Last Rites’ we see what happens after Emma has to leave Hook behind in the Underworld. He has to find a way to move on and she knows he can’t do that until Hades is defeated.
So they work together. Across realms … without knowing if they will ever see each other again.
Everyone is telling Emma that she needs to step back and grieve …
The whole episode unfolds with Emma in Storybrooke and Hook in the Underworld but they are working perfectly in sync. Hook and Arthur go on a quest to find the missing pages and when they succeed Hook knows that Emma will get them…
The storybook opens to the pages that Hook put in the book and Emma knows that the message came from him. True Love really is the most powerful magic … it can transcend realms.
I know he has the crystal
Hades is defeated and Hook just knows. The immediate threat is gone and he can do what he promised and move on.
Emma is also preparing to move on by saying goodbye.
But the gods have other plans for them … Zeus sends Killian back to her … back where he belongs and their reunion is one of the most emotional in the history of the show.
Just like her parents, Emma has had her love make the ultimate sacrifice for her and then had him brought back to life. The two of them can face everything together, even when they are apart.
In honor of Once coming to its conclusion, I will be posting my deleted scene fics here on tumblr leading up to the finale. There are 14 total, and they will be posted in chronological order. Each week leading up to the finale, I will post the scenes in a particular arc.

Episode: The Brothers Jones
Ramblers in the wilderness we can’t find what we need We get a little restless from the searching Get a little worn down in between Like a bull chasing the matador is the man left to his own schemes Everybody needs someone beside em’ shining like a lighthouse from the sea
Brother let me be your shelter Never leave you all alone I can be the one you call When you’re low Brother let me be your fortress When the night winds are driving on Be the one to light the way Bring you home
“Does my brother really see me that way?”
Emma turned to see the self-righteous prick himself staring her down with his arms crossed. Regina’s eyes rose in silent sympathy as she hurried away with a mumbled good luck. Emma gave Liam Jones no quarter – matching his glare with one of her own. Yet as she searched the blue eyes that were a lighter shade than she was used to, but still so oddly similar, she saw the tiniest flicker of concern. And fear. His eyes darted as they searched hers.
“Does he? Think I walk on water?”
Emma leaned back against the bar with a shrug. “You heard him back at the house. It never once occurred to him that you might be here due to your own choices.”
Liam shook his head as his arms fell to his sides. “I never meant for him to think I was perfect. I’m far from it, believe me.”
Emma cocked her head to the side as she regarded him, then she dropped her chin as a wry laugh escaped her lips.
“I fail to see what’s so funny.”
That only made Emma chuckle more. Killian had always said Liam lacked a sense of humor. She finally decided to put the poor man out of his misery as she looked back up into his eyes. “It’s just I came down here to rescue Killian. That was it. I never thought I’d face my own ghosts. Yet here I am standing right in front of my second one.”
Yeah, I just saw, holy shit. I can’t believe she’s actually that ignorant. I mean, really? Given how public the sexual harassment allegations with MC have been, you can’t tell me she’s not aware of what’s been going on with him. But hey, he called her “an inspiration” so what is she going to do? Not accept his kind words? I mean, maybe it’s just my pesky moral standards getting in the way, but as a woman, if sexual harasser was offering me praise, I would not be openly accepting it. But what do I know? I’m just a woman who doesn’t need constant attention and praise from every possible source to get through my day ¯_(ツ)_/¯
